BORO JUNIORS: Hot-shot Hesketh hits two in Under-13s success

Daniel Gregory

Scarborough Athletic Under-13s travelled to Hessle Rangers in their latest league fixture.

From the off Hessle tried to make it difficult for Boro by being very physical, but it wasn’t long before Oliver Hesketh’s brilliant piece of footwork found him some space on the edge of the box to fire Boro ahead.

Moments later Hesketh’s cross took a wicked deflection to loop over the keeper to make it 2-0.

Boro continued to dominate the game while having to ride some heavy challenges.

Just before half-time Charlie Wright hit a trademark rocket into the top corner from 20 yards to take Boro into the break 3-0 up.

The second half continued as the first half had left off, with Boro knocking the ball around well and they deservedly soon had a fourth with a great in-swinging corner from Liam Love that beat the Hessle keeper at his near post.

Second half sub Issac Grunwell outpaced the Hessle defence with a superb run before being hacked down by a defender in the box.

Wright stepped up and calmly fired in from the spot and Boro saw the game out to win 5-0.

Pelican United 3

Boro Under-12s 3

Athletic started the game well playing some good football and creating plenty of chances, but just falling short of converting them.

It wasn’t long before Scarborough took the lead when Jack Blakemore created a chance for Frazer Ives to fire a shot on goal.

The Pelican keeper parried the shot and Bevan Henry was on hand to finish into top corner.
